re: the whole "worshipping" thing, i have always been amused by the notion that if one displays the image of something one is automatically worshipping it. but then, this is my western perspective because that is precisely why islamic art has typically been abstract and geometrical {when not being infulenced by western artistic ideas} [art history specialists can probably kick my ass now].

but back to my 'amused' part, if someone presents the notion that you are worshipping your ceramic/wood image of a proto-human, counter with asking if they are worshipping the photos of their kids or the painting of the countryside hanging on their wall ~ or better yet the cast concrete squirrel in their yard :)
